COLLECTD-EMAIL(5) collectd COLLECTD-EMAIL(5)

collectd-email - Documentation of collectd's "email plugin"

  # See collectd.conf(5)
  LoadPlugin email

  <Plugin email>
    SocketGroup "collectd"
    SocketPerms "0770"
    MaxConns 5
  </Plugin>

The "email plugin" opens an UNIX-socket over which one can submit email statistics, such as the number of "ham", "spam", "virus", etc. mails received/handled, spam scores and matched spam checks.

This plugin is intended to be used with the Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::Collectd SpamAssassin-plugin which is included in contrib/, but is of course not limited to that use.

This plugin collects data indirectly by providing a UNIX-socket that external programs can connect to. A simple line based protocol is used to communicate with the plugin:
  • E-Mail type (e.g. "ham", "spam", "virus", ...) and size (bytes):

      e:<type>:<size>
        

    If "size" is less than or equal to zero, "size" is ignored.

  • Spam score:

      s:<value>
        
  • Successful spam checks (e.g. "BAYES_99", "SUBJECT_DRUG_GAP_C", ...):

      c:<type1>[,<type2>,...]
        

    Each line is limited to 256 characters (including the newline character). Longer lines will be ignored.
